Row Spacing, Landscape Position, and Maize Grain Yield by Gustavo Ángel Maddonni, Joaquín Martínez-Bercovich

“…Differences in grain yield among landscape positions (mean 806, 893, and 1104 g/m2 at the summit, shoulder-slope position, and foot-slope position, resp.) were related to kernel number/m2 (r=0.94), which was closely related (r=0.90) to light capture around silking. Grain yield reductions (6 to 20%) were recorded when crops were cultivated in rows 0.38 m apart. …”
